<h2>NOTHING IS SACRED IN CVLT'S DARK COMEDY, 'INCORRUPTIBLE'</h2>
<p>CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - It's the middle of the thirteenth century,
and things are going poorly at the monastery in Priseaux, France. The
bones of St. Foy, patron of the abbey, haven't produced any miracles in
over a decade. Pilgrims have stopped coming, and their money has
stopped coming with them. The monks are absolutely destitute and
desperate for salvation. Things get worse when a rival monastery claims
not only that <em>they</em> have the true relics of St. Foy, but that
they are working miracles! All seems lost, until a larcenous, one-eyed
minstrel arrives to teach the locals a few darkly imaginative tricks to
right their financial ship. In the process, the monks learn a little
something about redemption.</p>
<p>Michael Hollinger's <em>Incorruptible</em>, which opens at
Chagrin Valley Little Theatre under the direction of Michael Rogan on
March 20th, skewers both celebrity worship and material worship . They
play is based on an actual ninth century feud between two French
monasteries over the bones of St. Foy (a young girl who was beheaded by
the Romans in 303 A.D. for refusing to renounce her faith), and uses
'Monty Python-esque' dark humor to explore the age-old dilemma of
whether the ends justify the means.</p>
<p>CVLT's production features several familiar faces, including
Eric Oswald (who recently appeared as 'Father Flynn' in CVLT's <em>Doubt</em>),
Bobby Thomas and Amy Pelleg (who appeared in 2008's sell-out,
record-breaking comedy <em>Polish Joke</em>), and CVLT comedy vet
Robert McCoy. Also joining are community theater comedy regulars Kevin
Derrick, Coletta "Louie" West, and Judy Blatnik.</p>
<p><em>Incorruptible</em> runs Friday and Saturday evenings at 8
PM from March 20 through April 11. Tickets are $14 regular or $10 for
students and seniors, and can be purchased online 24 hours a day at <a
href="http://www.CVLT.org">www.CVLT.org</a>, or by calling the Box
Office at 440-247-8955 between 1 and 6 PM, Monday through Saturday.</p>
<p>Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is generously funded by Cuyahoga
County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and is supported by
the Ohio Arts Council.</p>
